That 50 A hold means it'll handle a 50 A continuous load without nuisance tripping in a warm panel — out here in the grease, that's the number that keeps a motor feeder from dropping out mid-shift.
Interrupting duty and release
Interrupting ratings are 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V (–). The TM240 thermal-magnetic release is fixed — no field-adjustable trip curve, so the selectivity study needs to account for that fixed characteristic. Four HQ auxiliary switches come built in, giving you status feedback without adding a separate side-mount block.
Mounting and fit
The 3VA frame is designed for DIN-rail or screw-mount panel integration — the 70 mm depth keeps it within typical enclosure clearance for a 3-pole MCCB.
